Jimmy Barry of South Eastern Mountain Rescue Association (www.semra.ie) got in touch after being alarmed to see the photograph with John G O'Dwyer's walk on page 6 last week, which we claimed was of Galtymore.

Unfortunately, the photographer turned out to have miscaptioned the image

"On Saturday morning I received 15 phone calls, all about the same thing. As I was up a ladder, trying to paint my house, I was pretty mad by the time I got down. All the callers started with the same words: 'Jimmy, look what the Times has done to Galtymore. It's now a hill.'

"The photograph with the article is of some low hill that could be in any part of Ireland, and as hills go it is a very nice hill, but it's not Galtymore.

"Walkers - especially people taking up hillwalking for the first time - might think from looking at the photograph that climbing the mountain would be easy.

At 919m, Galtymore is one of the highest mountains in Ireland, and, as John G O'Dwyer said in his piece, you must be well kitted out if you are to climb it. So please print a photo of the real Galtymore.
